US Exempts Israel and Its Own High Crimes from Accountabilityby Stephen LendmanThroughout their history, Washington and Israel were never held accountable for endless high crimes of war, against humanity and genocide.Hegemons make their own rules, doing whatever they please, ignoring rule of law principles with impunity - how America always operates, waging endless wars on humanity, seeking dominance over planet earth, its resources and populations.Along with NATO, Israel is an appendage of Washington's imperial agenda, a sort of regional cop on the beat serving US interests and its own - including maliciously harming Palestinians, Gazans most of all, ignoring their fundamental rights, holding them hostage to its viciousness with full US support and encouragement.As expected on June 1, Washington vetoed a Kuwait-drafted Security Council resolution, denouncing "excessive use of force" against (peaceful) Gazan demonstrators by IDF soldiers.The Trump regime acted alone - 10 SC member-states voting "yes," four abstaining (Britain, Ethiopia, the Netherlands and Poland - shamefully in deference to Washington and Israel, short of voting "no."Following the US veto, Kuwait's UN envoy said "(t)he message given by the council today, as it votes against this, is that the occupying power enjoys an exception" to fundamental rule of law principles binding on all nations, adding:"Why do Palestinians continue to suffer? Why does the international community fail to act? Why does Israel enjoy impunity? Why are all these lives lost and all this blood shed?"More Palestinian blood was shed on Friday. Volunteer medic Razan Ashraf Najjar was lethally shot in Gaza during another peaceful Great March of Return demonstration, scores more Palestinians injured from live fire, rubber-coated steel bullets and toxic tear gas.According to Gaza's Health Ministry Dr. Asraf al-Qedra, Israeli snipers targeted five medical personnel treating wounded Gazans.Najjar wore a clearly-marked medic vest, lethally shot for doing her job, treating and helping to evacuate wounded Gazans to a field clinic - standing well inside Israel's border with Gaza, threatening no one.She was shot in the back, the bullet (reportedly an exploding dum dum one) shattered her heart, likely killing her instantly, other medics with her wounded.Since Great March of Return demonstrations began over two months ago, two Gazan medics were killed, 223 others injured, at least 29 from live fire.According to political activist, human rights champion, Palestinian Medical Relief Society head Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, killing Najjar is one of countless Israeli high crimes of war and against humanity, adding:Gazan medical teams continue treating wounded Palestinians responsibly despite Israeli state terror.Responding to Washington's Friday veto, PLO executive committee member Hanan Ashwari called the action clear proof of its "corrupt and blindfolded support to Israel, so that they can ensure Israel's crimes and violations against an unarmed civilian population remain unpunished, and continue with impunity," adding:"This…reckless behavior reflects the morally corrupt American policies and manifests the arrogance of power used by the United States against international principles.""This veto is another sharp blow by the United States targeting justice, and the credibility of the international community, represented by the United Nations" - failing to uphold fundamental international law, applied only to victims of US/Israeli viciousness.The world community consistently fails to hold Washington and Israel accountable for high crimes too egregious to ignore.It's why they get away with mass murder and much more - time and again with no end of it in prospect.

S/Israel Escalating War in Syria for Regime Change?by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org - Home - Stephen Lendman)Things seem headed in this direction. Longstanding US policy calls for regime change in Syria and all other sovereign independent countries.Hardline extremists in charge of Trump's geopolitical policymaking push this agenda, notably John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, two sinister characters promoting naked aggression, deploring peace and stability.On Friday, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert warned Damascus, saying Washington will take "firm and appropriate measures in response" to efforts by Syrian forces to liberate sovereign territory the Trump regime wants to maintain control over.Pompeo through his spokeswoman Nauert demands Russia "compel (Assad) to cease further military offensives" - essential to liberate the country from the scourge of US-supported terrorists and the illegal presence of Pentagon troops in southern and northern areas.On Sunday, Netanyahu threatened Iran and Syria, saying "(w)e are working to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons" it deplores, doesn't seek, and wants eliminated everywhere - Israel the region's only nuclear armed and dangerous country, threatening everyone everywhere.Netanyahu continued, saying his regime is working "against Iran's consolidated military presence against us (a malicious Big Lie), and operating against the transfer of deadly weapons from Syria to Lebanon or their manufacture in Lebanon," adding: "All of these weapons are for use against the State of Israel and it is our right - based on the right of self-defense - to prevent their manufacture or transfer."All of the above is rubbish. Israel's only threats are invented ones, no others. Iranian military advisors are in Syria, aiding its forces combat US/Israeli-supported terrorists.Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and all other nations have the right to produce weapons for self-defense. The US, Israel, and their rogue partners use them for naked aggression - the highest of high crimes.According to the Saudi broadsheet Asharq Al-Awsat, "Tel Aviv has informed Moscow about its decision to 'expand the scope of its red lines' in Syria (nationwide) by preventing Iran from consolidating its military presence and that of its militias, including Hezbollah, across all Syrian territories, and not just in the south." If the report is accurate, it indicates Israel will escalate aggression in Syria - likely together with Washington. Both countries partner in each other's high crimes.They're clearly allied for regime change in Syria, wanting Iran isolated ahead of a similar scheme to topple its government.Southfront called the Asharq Al-Awsat report more evidence of "a longstanding Saudi-Israeli campaign aimed at undermining the Iranian-Russian cooperation over the Syrian conflict." Israeli and Saudi propaganda falsely suggest Russian/Iranian cooperation in Syria against US-supported terrorists is heading for collapse.Damascus, Moscow, Tehran and Hezbollah are allied in wanting the scourge of US/Israeli/Saudi-supported terrorism in Syria defeated.Israeli and Saudi propaganda comes ahead of efforts by Syrian forces to liberate territory bordering Jordan, a longtime goal the Trump and Netanyahu regimes aim to prevent.
